Relief To Come For Flood-Hit Chennai After 5 Days Of Incessant Rain In Tamil Nadu
The depression over the Bay of Bengal is likely to cross the coast by today evening, soon to bring an end to the extremely heavy rains in Tamil Nadu since Sunday, November 7, that have left several parts of the state -- including Chennai -- severely waterlogged and flooded.
Heavy rains continued to pound Chennai and its nearby areas yesterday evening and this morning, affecting vehicular movement and causing waterlogging in the city.
Tamil Nadu has been battered by heavy rains over the past few days, having received 46 per cent excess rain so far, as compared to the historical average.
